They don't even have to ask him. Just put the names of all the big, hulking, slow-footed players in this draft into a hat and pull one out.Or they could just ask Quinn who he'd pick.
I guess that explains guys like Boyes, Colaiacovo, Wellwood, White, Steen, Stajan, Kronwall and Williams ... eh?They don't even have to ask him. Just put the names of all the big, hulking, slow-footed players in this draft into a hat and pull one out.
Voila.
It was a joke...I guess that explains guys like Boyes, Colaiacovo, Wellwood, White, Steen, Stajan, Kronwall and Williams ... eh?
Fair enough ... just remember to put a smile thing in there for those of us not so swift on the sarcasm.It was a joke...
But in all honesty, I feel more comfortable with JFJ at the draft table than Quinn. Drafting appears to be one of JFJ's (few) strengths...
Yeah, I believe JFJ's first draft where he had full control was '05, where he drafted Rask and the-player-everyone's-talking-about, Stralman.Fair enough ... just remember to put a smile thing in there for those of us not so swift on the sarcasm.
It's always hard to say at this stage. Someone mentioned yesterday that he's we've yet to see a single Junior draftee play an NHL game after four years. That's not too impressive, but it's also the outcome of stupidly trading away a lot of picks.
At the same time, Junior's drafts only really begin in earnest in 2005 or 06, as Trapp and other Quinn guys were still largely running that end of things.
There's a few that look to have some promise, but it's still too early to tell.
Yeah, I rip into JFJ for anything I can possibly rip into him for, but the jury's still out on his drafting. He's picked up a couple of guys with later picks (Stralman and Kulemin) that look like they could turn out to be real gems though, so that's one of the very few things he has going for him.
